Synopsis: By the spring of 1931 a conspiracy is underway in Germany to assassinate President Hindenburg and restore the Kaiser's son to the throne, threatening the peace of Europe. At the behest of her godfather Winston Churchill, the adventurous journalist Mattie McGary, a rising star in William Randolph Hearst's press empire, and her lover, Bourke Cockran Jr., a New York law school professor and former Army counterintelligence agent, get involved.
A brutal struggle opposes the old Germany and the new; the reactionary industrialists backing Kaiser Wilhelm II versus the racist radicals behind the Nazis and their leader, Adolf Hitler. Winston Churchill is drawn into the fray.

Review: This is the second Winston Churchill thriller I've read from these authors and it is a story with many sub plots. Our hero's Mattie McGary and Bourke Cockran are reaching for the Spear of Destiny, the lance used to pierce christ with on the cross. The former Kaiser who wants to put him son into power and Hitlers SS is after the spear but the spear is protected by the "New Templers" who have watched over it for years and do not want either side to possess it.
Bourke is service as a lawyer for a young lady named Harmony whos company she has inherited is under attack from the SS who wants her to sell her company out to them. If you buy the third book in this series, many of the characters will show up there too (like Kurt Von Strum and "The Apostles"). I do not want to give away the whole plot, but I think this is a very entertaining book,with many twists to the plots involved and very worth reading.
